I honestly think the best money I ever spent was having my Suspension setup for my Weight and riding style, My S2R 800 was a very nervous ride when I first got it, front forks would bottom out, the rear of the bike would wallow and slide around in corners.
I purchased an Ohlins rear shock brand new from Moto Wheels and had it sprung, valved and set up for my weight and riding style, I then spoke to a suspension specialist and ordered new springs to suit the front forks, we then played around with the oil weights and heights to get it working well with the new rear Shock.
It has made the bike handle extremely well, I don't go scraping the pegs on the local mountain ranges, but I like to have fun, and the bike has now become very confidence inspiring and predictable.
This has also made the bike much safer when riding around town, in an emergency situation (Emergency stop or collision avoidance) I know how the bike will react and what it will do.
I would suggest talking to a suspension specialist and see what they think can be done to get the bike set up for you, your riding style and riding area.
